59 FLRA No. 107
AFGE, Local 1858 and U. S. Dept. of the Army U. S. Army Aviation and Missile Command Security Assistance Management Directorate (Hammer, Arbitrator) 0-AR-3760 (Decided January 28, 2004)
Under section 7122(a) of the Statute, an award is deficient if it is contrary to any law, rule, or regulation; or it is deficient on other grounds similar to those applied by Federal courts in private sector labor-management relations. Upon careful consideration of the entire record in this case, and Authority precedent, the Authority concluded that the award was not deficient on the grounds raised in the exceptions and set forth in section 7122(a). The Authority rejected the allegations that the award was contrary to law or that it failed to draw its essence from the agreement.
